Epic Disruption

Special interview with Andy Penn, Telstra CEO

Right now, almost every company in Australia is being disrupted in one form or another. Yet research shows that 70% of Australian companies haven’t even begun the journey to transform. We hear from Telstra leaders about what the company is doing to embrace disruption and pursue new growth opportunities through innovation – and what this means for their enterprise clients.

Embracing disruption

Organisations today are at an inflection point. Business leaders know that thriving in the digital age requires them to take on the disruptive forces changing their industry with speed, confidence and continuous innovation. But the reality is, only 6% of C-level executives say they’ve successfully managed to embrace new business activities without hesitation. We hear from executives at Telstra about how they are embracing disruption and pursuing new growth opportunities without abandoning their core business, what we call the wise pivot. Hear from CEO of Telstra Andrew Penn, Former Managing Director of Australian broadcaster SBS and current Head of Group Enterprise at Telstra Michael Ebeid and many more.

Turning disruptive forces into opportunities

Platforms can be used to consolidate and share data in order to facilitate advanced analytics - predicting failure, optimising performance and in turn, generating new revenue and value for businesses. Communications and technology providers are at the forefront of this technology and are the enablers to help industries transform and reimagine the way they work and do business. Hear from Telstra's Chief Technology Officer Hakan Erikkson, Managing Director at Accenture Andrew Butterworth and more on how we can make this happen.

Accelerating Platform Businesses

Industries are being squeezed from all sides. Top-line growth is stalling. Revenues have levelled off. Customers are finding new ways to engage digitally and digital disruptors are undermining the traditional base of services.  Businesses must take positive steps to ready their products and services for the next wave of innovation applications, from 5G implementation and beyond.  How will businesses keep up with the pace of change and ensure pervasive innovation is in-built into their new ways of working? Hear from Telstra executives Andrew Penn CEO, Michael Ebeid Group Head of Enterprise and Sarah Frank Head of Innovation at Telstra.

Reinventing products & services

Today’s markets require strategies and capabilities that drive profitable growth in sustainable ways. Organisations need to streamline their back-office and find innovative ways to drive efficiencies. Hear from Andrew Penn Telstra CEO, Jonathan Restarik Accenture Senior Managing Director and more as they explain the epic disruption happening today and the benefits of running an intelligent enterprise and industrialising your core business.

Scaling Intelligent Enterprises

Recorded at Telstra Vantage 2019, this podcast is about meeting with the smartest brains navigating the razors edge of technology; it’s not about the future, because the future is here, ready or not. Hear from Telstra CEO Andy Penn, Telstra Group Executive of Enterprise Michael Ebeid, Accenture Senior Managing Director Johnathan Restarick plus more. Hosted by Dan Ilic.
